In the spirit of Franklin D. Roosevelt. October 19, 2021, a date which will live in infamy.

Today the Proshares launched an Exchange Traded Fund with the symbol $BITO whose performance is linked to the performance of the Bitcoin futures traded at the Chicago Mercantile Group. The fund does not invest directly in bitcoin. Expense ratio is 0.95%.

This is the first domino tipping over a long train of dominoes of a 1,000 cryptocurrency projects like Web 3.0, Interoperability, 5G networks, Gaming, and decentralized finance!
